Hi!

My niece is going to be getting a pet rabbit, but SiL told her she needs to build a home for it first.
They're suburban farmgirls and it would be an indoor home.
Does anyone have advice, could point us to a website, or anything?

Thanks loads!

I have heard that a small dog crate makes a good indoor rabbit house. How fun! I think having a house bunny would but a good experiment. My daughter's preschool has 3 rabbits and they have an elaborate cage/hutch and don't free roam. I would recommend trying to find some pictures online if that is the route you are trying to go.

it is cheaper to buy one than make one, since the bunny will be lose, you don't need a large cage, and you want it metal with a litter tray, they will destroy wood with chewing and urine.

Thanks Alee and Teresa!

I located some how-to's online and forwarded my niece the links. She's excited to get started. Her mom? Not so much, even tho' she had a rabbit when she was a kid.
